Winemaker’s Notes:
This wine combines the characteristics of dried berry fruit and light cherry notes with fine tannins and vanilla aromas.
The Chambourcin grapes used for this wine were left on the vine until they had reached 20.8 brix, and the Cabernet Franc grapes were harvested at 21.2 brix.
A great wine to be enjoyed with friends around the dinner table.

Overall I gave this one 4 out of 5 stars which is a good score. For value, it is worth the price.
Interesting that 10% Zweigelt was added to this blend as I do not believe it was part of the blend in the 2007 Red Eco Trail.
It was a bit too herbaceous and green for my taste which may have been from the 2008 Cab Franc, perhaps the Zweigelt was added to the blend to correct this.
I loved Pelee Island’s 2007 Eco Trail red …. this one just wasn’t as good.
